Doctors at the Nairobi Hospital now say that they will not admit patients at midnight on Monday, September 16, 2024.
In a press statement, the doctors insisted they continue their go-slow until the incumbent board of directors resigns.
"The general public is therefore notified that there will be no more new admissions in the Nairobi Hospital and the doctors will only attend to patients in the wards, their private clinics, and emergent cases only," the statement read in part.
In a quick retort, the Nairobi Hospital management has assured the public that operations at the facility were going smoothly.
The management took to its official X platform to reassure of its smooth operations despite the strike.
